Twisted Sweet Bread Recipe. Fluffy and soft sweet twisted bread filled with raspberry jam and cream cheese. The combination of soft dough with jam and cream cheese is heavenly.
NOTE: Be sure to roll out and shape the dough on parchment paper for easier transferring. Generously dust parchment paper with flour, add the dough. Add more flour to the top of the dough.
Gently roll out the dough into a rectangle about 16x12” in size, adding more flour as needed so the dough doesn't stick to the rolling pin. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Generously add the jam and cream cheese in rows, see picture.
Gently roll up the dough to form a log and place seam underneath.
Pinch edges of log and tuck under so the filling doesn't ooze out.
With kitchen shears, cut bread on both sides, see the picture. Twist the pieces that are cut.
Whisk together egg and water, brush tops of bread.
Allow bread to rise 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake for 17-19 minutes, until the top of the bread is golden.
Enjoy.
Notes
If you don’t have a large baking sheet, shape dough into two smaller portions.Note: All flour is different. Add a few additional tablespoons of flour at a time if needed to achieve the described dough consistency. TIP: Reheat the sweet bread in the microwave or toaster oven before serving if you want warm bread.
